Answer 1

Here’s the classification of each example as either an acid or a base:

1. **Cleaning products** - Base
2. **A boy puckering his lips** - Not an acid or base (this is a physiological reaction, not a substance)
3. **Antacid tablet** - Base
4. **Carbonic acid** - Acid
5. **Pickles** - Acid (due to vinegar or brine used in pickling)
6. **Bleach** - Base
7. **Soap** - Base
8. **Oranges** - Acid (due to citric acid)

To summarize:
- **Acid**: Carbonic acid, Pickles, Oranges
- **Base**: Cleaning products, Antacid tablet, Bleach, Soap

The "A boy puckering his lips" does not fall under either category as it's not a chemical substance.
